I wonder what the point of interest is with this project. Libraries for Sonos access have been available for well over a decade[1]. Is this interesting simply because a device with a well-documented API is now accessible from Rust? If not

I think what you're getting at is that in the US, people have a financial incentive to be healthier due to the cost of health care. How is that working out? Does the average American eat healthier, do more exercise, consumer fewer dri

It's clear you're being intentionally intransigent here. If you're willing to have a discussion about the facts, as opposed to your inability to comprehend simple sentences, then I'm game. Otherwise, please take your a

Are you looking under the women's table? Can you provide a _single_ point where a world running record is held by a woman? You're really sticking your neck out on this point and I'm curious if you actually have a counter ex

I think it might be because most everyone here understands that human sexual dimorphism is a thing, and it's unrelated to personal politics. If you need evidence, check literally every single track and field record on the books. Show

This can only happen if someone develops a storage technology that is simultaneously the lowest cost, lowest latency, highest bandwidth, lowest MTBF, lowest power, smallest footprint, and includes every extra feature (ECC, encryption, etc).

This piece feels like it wants me to be upset about the maintainers of EasyList, instead of the people that created the content which has become so toxic that people are scrambling for ways to block it.

I feel like this article covered that fairly well. The developers had no idea that this simple feature addition (which did nothing more than formalize what users were already doing) would result in what we have today. Maybe you see further

While I agree with your first point, I think you're off base on the second. If, as the OP suggests, it would be possible to develop a toolkit such that the concerns about time/resources you raise in your first point are moot, the
